I am a visiting scholar from Central South University, China, in the Department of Applied Linguistics at Portland State University.

I am conducting a research project concerning communicative behaviors. This survey is part of the project. The outcome of this study will benefit people's understanding in intercultural communication. It is done anonymously and your contribution to this study would be highly appreciated. Answers to many questions in this survey may be quite subjective. Please read each question and respond with the first answer that comes to your mind. It may take you 20-30 minutes.

If interested, please contact me at this email address to obtain the surveyquestions: pdx01820pdx.edu. When finished, send back the completed copy.Thank you very much for your kind help.

I would be especially grateful if you could forward the questionnaire to anyone who you think may be interested and willing to participate in this survey.
